Using his wife’s sewing machine,
DeBakey created the world’s first
Dacron artery (woven graft).
Development of Synthetic Arterial Grafts
• The 1st synthetic artery was
created by Voorhees in 1952
▪ Vinyon-N made of nylon, orlon, &
Teflon (PFTE)
▪ Columbia University
• Other material explored
• DeBakey developed Dacron
grafts that are still in use today
▪ 1st use 1954, sewn (woven) graft
used to replace abdominal
bifurcation

Dacron Permits a Shift in Approach
• Dacron permitted grafts to
be used as an initial shunt
• Extra-anatomical repair
possible
• Rapid restoration of renal
function
• Bottom to top approach
▪ Attached left renal artery first
▪ Individual branch grafts

Evolution of Open TAAA Repair
▪No use of heparin
Moderate heparinization
▪Clamp-and-sew
Selective use left heart bypass
Selective use of CSF drainage
Selective use visceral perfusion
Whenever possible cold renal perfusion
▪Island technique
Selective use branched grafts

Intraoperative Strategy
All extents
• Moderate heparinization
• Permissive mild hypothermia
• Aggressive reattachment intercostal arteries
• Cold renal perfusion, whenever possible
• As needed use: stents, endarterectomy, bypass grafts
Extents I and II
• Cerebrospinal fluid drainage
• Selective celiac/SMA perfusion
• Left heart bypass

• Approach to repair is multimodality
• Open repair is durable and remains an
gold standard for TAAA repair
• However, surgical skill must be
maintained
• High volume centers tend to have
better outcomes
